This record describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2019_V01, The availability of Antarctic krill to large predators and their role in biogeochemical recycling in the Southern Ocean which departed Hobart on the 19th January, 2019 and returned to Hobart on the 5th of March, 2019. The Kongsberg EM710 MKII multibeam echosounder was used to acquire seafloor bathymetry and backscatter information for a limited time during the transit off/on the shelf to/from Hobart. For the majority of the voyage, the EM710 MKII was not operated due to depth ranges beyond the operating capabilities or due to interference with the water column acoustic instruments of greater priority. The EM710 MKII provides a 0.5° by 1° transmit and receive angular resolution respectively. The echosounder's nominal frequency range is from 40 to 100 kHz. Data are stored in *.all raw format for bathymetry and backscatter at CSIRO. There are 35 files totalling 6.91 GB of raw data in this dataset. Sound velocity profiles were applied to this data during data acquisition. Bathymetry data contained in *.all format are corrected for motion and position. Tide corrections were not applied to the processed data. Processed data has had outliers removed. Processed line data are available in *.gsf and ascii format, and processed bathymetry in geotiff format. Additional information regarding this dataset, including further information on processing streams, is contained in the GSM data acquisition and processing report.

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2019_V01, titled: "The availability of Antarctic krill to large predators and their role in biogeochemical recycling in the Southern Ocean." The voyage took place from Hobart (TAS) to Hobart between January 19 and March 5, 2019. Voyage in2019_v01 used both active and passive acoustics for locating and mapping krill swarms. To minimise interference the ADCP equipment was turned off for most of the voyage. ADCP was active during the transits to and from the area of interest, and for brief periods during CTD casts while in the science area. Data was collected using UHDAS and post-processed using CODAS. The quality of the collected data was generally good. The University of Hawaii’s CODAS software dated 2017.10.01 was used for data post-processing. This dataset was processed and then archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.
